Juniper Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I was looking at these today and cannot decide if I want to get one to try reading as a read aloud. My hesitancy is with the theological and ideological nature. I have found that I do like quite a bit of older children's literature. What concerns me is that I think I remember some connection to Vision Forum and that makes me uncomfortable. Any thoughts? I know this is somewhat vague, but I am not completely sure how to word this. :confused: I head back tomorrow to take another look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I read it. :) He also has quotes from Chesterton and quotes Fenelon on his blog, so I am a bit confused as to what actually comes through in the content of the books. I hope that makes sense! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Do you maybe know anyone near you from whom you could borrow one? Theology is SO personal it's really hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.m Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 They sell ebooks for $9. Maybe you could try one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that makes sense! :D I meant to quote, Kiana. That was weird! :) No, I was trying to make some sort of decision today while I was at the conference. Has anyone who is Anglican, Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox read these and have any specific reflections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaplank Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I have heard Mark Hamby speak at a conference. He specifically said that he is against patriarchy. He gave his reasons, all very valid. He said there is no biblical evidence for fathers trying to be like Abraham, but they should be striving to be like Jesus. Lamplighter does not have any affiliation with Vision Forum as far as I know. I have read several Lamplighter books and would definitely recommend them. If you get a chance to hear Mark Hamby speak in person or get his lectures on CD it would be well worth it. I think it would also put your mind at ease about buying from Lamplighter.
